Oogie's shadow slowly disappeared from us.

"Beginner's luck if ya ask me. Don't worry, we'll meet again".

He laughed evilly and I stuck out my tongue at Oogie.

Jack let his Soul Robber wrap itself around his wrist and then I walked over to him.

"You alright F/n? Those ghosts really hurt you".

"I'm okay Jack".

I smiled and gave him a thumb's up.

All of a sudden, glittery sparkles began to fall down onto us.

Jack caught a few of them in his bony hand.

Then, we both looked up at the ceiling.

"Ohh"!

I grinned as a wooden object that was shaped like a orange jack o-lantern apppeared.

"That's the Halloween holiday door! Now, what in the world is that doing here"?

The holiday door gently landed beside of me.

It then shrunk itself into a smaller size.

"Ohh yeah, we can take this every where we go now"!

I picked up the Halloween holiday door and it was about the size of my hand.

"Not really. It seems that Oogie has stolen all the holiday doors and now we have to find them and return them to their original place".

After all that, Jack led me outside to the Witch's shop.

The two witches were there.

"Jack! Horrible to see you"!

The taller one spoke.

"Is it true? The whole town is booby-trapped"?

Jack asked.

I looked around at all the stuff.

"Oh, it's too embarrassing to talk about. We brought this all upon ourselves. Say, care to buy anything? We've got some prime heads and torsos, but they'll cost you an arm and a leg".

I laughed at the joke, and then something slimy caught my attention.

"Wow! A slime wristband"!

I picked up the Soul Robber from the woolen basket.

"Yes, that's our limited edition of soul robbers. Dr. Finkelstein said last week that they'll come in handy for you Jack".

Zeldaborne grinned, watching me play with the Soul Robber.

"Perhaps you'd like to help me defeat Oogie and his army, as well as returning Halloweentown back to the way it was".

Jack smiled at me, and I jumped up and down for joy.

"Count me in"!

And the rest of the them laughed at my enthusiasm.
